To choose a good pillow, several criteria must be taken into account: your morphology, your sleeping position and the degree of firmness you prefer for a pillow.
When going to bed, you should not feel a contraction in the neck, but on the contrary a relaxation.
Natural pillows (feathers and down) are softer and synthetic pillows are hypoallergenic and easier to maintain.
To reduce your neck pain, memory foam pillows help reduce pressure points and can be a perfect solution for people who have neck pain when waking up in the morning.
The most important thing is that the alignment of your spine is respected to avoid tension in the upper back.

What position to sleep when you have neck pain?
Your sleeping position affects your quality of sleep and your day afterwards.
Certain positions should be avoided because they are bad for the cervical spine, in particular sleeping on your stomach.
This is the worst position for the cervical, but also for the whole column, because it causes muscle tension.
There is also a big strain on the muscles, the rib cage, not to mention that you have to turn your head to breathe which is not ideal for the spine.
If you really can't fall asleep other than on your stomach, choose a pillow that is as flat as possible to align your spine.
If you have neck pain, sleeping on your back is the best position.
It aligns the neck and spine and limits pressure.
Choose a medium-thick pillow.
If you sleep on your side, choose a slightly thicker pillow than for sleeping on your back.
Indeed, this sleeping position affects more pressure points.
You can rely on the width of your shoulders: if you have broad shoulders, you can choose a thicker pillow than someone with narrow shoulders.
What is the best pillow for neck pain relief?
There are a lot of ergonomic or reputable neck pillows on the market.
Not easy to know which one to choose.
The most important thing is not to buy a pillow that is too thick or too thin, depending on your sleeping position, so that the spine is properly aligned.
The first thing to look at is the shape of the pillow: a rectangular pillow is ideal when you have neck pain, because it allows you to sleep with your shoulder against the pillow and not your shoulder on the pillow. .
The neck support is much better, especially if you sleep on your side or on your back.
As for the square pillow, use it instead to prop yourself up if you read or watch television.
It can also be suitable for people who sleep on their stomach,
but it must be as flat as possible so as not to "break" the neck.
Then comes the filling, to choose according to your preferences: latex is perfect if you suffer from allergies.
It is an elastic material that offers very good support and good ventilation.
The memory foam will perfectly support your heart and your neck and will reduce pressure points.
Finally, a natural feather and down filling provides perfect support and very good ventilation of the pillow.
